The New Bulb of Tomorrow Today

This was a circulated email, the event did not happen to me though I know the horror of living with so much CFL around my house. Remember when it was chic? tl//!

Below is a picture of a CFL light bulb from my bathroom. I turned it on the other day and then smelled smoke after a few minutes. Four inch flames were spewing out of the side of the ballast like a blow torch! I immediately turned off the lights. But I'm sure it would have caused a fire if I was not right there. Imagine if the kids had left the lights on as usual when they were not in the room.


I took the bulb to the Fire Department to report the incident. The Fireman wasn't at all surprised and said that it was not an uncommon occurrence. Apparently, sometimes when the bulb burns out there is a chance that the ballast can start a fire. He told me that the Fire Marshall had issued reports about the dangers of these bulbs.

Upon doing some Internet research, it seems that bulbs made by “Globe” in China seem to have the lion’s share of problems. Lots of fires have been blamed on misuse of CFL bulbs, like using them in recessed lighting, pot lights, dimmers or in track lighting. Mine was installed in a normal light socket.

I bought these at Wal-Mart. I will be removing all the Globe bulbs from my house. CFL bulbs are a great energy saver but make sure you buy a name brand like Sylvania , Phillips or GE and not the ones from China .

EXCELLENT PATIENT CARE

Let me go here right now. If I let this go it would be a shame. Dentistry has come a long way. I won't say no! The price you have to pay has also. I guess they're making it up in care practices. But it's worth it, I guess. I'm impressed by this school of this kind of technology. This science is fascinating! You have to know everything about the human body really! This is a "THANK YOU" to Dr. Q.Rupp, and Dr. S. Smith for the knowledge and confidence. I feel like ....But it was worth it! Thank You again!

Don't Pick Your NOSE!!

    
H1N1- very good info:

Now, I copied an email, I won't say no! BUT, I'll give credit from whence it came. ORIGINALLY!
The next reading "IS" great to know, JUST KNOW. tl
     
The following advice, given by Dr. Oz, makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know:
        
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global

epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into

 contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is

 not so much of a problem as proliferation is. 
        
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1

 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms

and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps,

 not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced

 (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu): 
        
 1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications). 
        
 2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch

any part of face (unless you want to eat or bathe.) 
     
 3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine or Hydrogen Peroxide

 if you don't trust salt).  *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in

the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms.

Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has

 the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one.

Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method. 
        
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm

 salt water, or hydrogen peroxide. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti

or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the

 nose softly once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in

 warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.* 
        

5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and

 other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make

 sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption. 
                 
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm

 liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.

They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach

 where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
         
Pass this on to your entire e-list. 

 You never know who might pay

 attention to it 

and STAY ALIVE because of it.

ABOUT YOUR DIET

  
PLEASE READ, MAYBE YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT IT DOESN'T HURT TO READ AGAIN TO REMIND US OF EVERYTHING ABOUT CANCER PREVENTION.  PLEASE READ TO THE END, SEE WHAT DIFFERENT FOODS DO TO HELP OR EVEN HURT,  I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MILK CAUSING CANCER, (LITTLE ONES MAIN SOURCE OF DRINK AND FOOD. This is worth reading..... 



Johns Hopkins Update – 
This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it.
 
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, 
JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY. 

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
 

1. 
Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer
 cells
 do not show up in the standard tests until they have
 multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
 that there are no 
more cancer cells in their bodies after
 treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
 
cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable
 size.
 

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a
 person's lifetime.
 

3. 
When the person's immune system is strong the cancer
 cells
 will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and
 forming tumors.
 

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has
 nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
 but also to 
environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies,
 changing
 
 diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day 
   and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
 

6. 
Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing
 cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
 in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can
 cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
 

7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells 
also burns, scars
 and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
 

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
 reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of
 chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor
 destruction.
 

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
 chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either
 compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb
 to various kinds of infections and complications.
 

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to
   mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
   Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other
   sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the 
cancer
   cells
 by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. 

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:


a. 
Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made
 
with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute
  would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small
  amounts. 
Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in
 color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or 
sea salt. 

b. 
Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
 gastro-intestinal tract. 
Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting
 off milk and substituting with unsweetened 
soy milk cancer
 cells are being starved.
 

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. 
A meat-based
 diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, 
  like chicken. Meat also contains livestock
 antibiotics, 
growth hormones and parasites, which are all
 harmful, especially to people with cancer.
 

d. A diet made of 
80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole
 grains
, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into
 an 
alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked
 food including beans. 
Fresh vegetable juices provide live
 enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
 cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance
 growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
 healthy cells try and drink fresh 
vegetable juice (most
 vegetables including be an sprouts) and eat some raw
 vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. 
Enzymes are destroyed at
 temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..
 

e. Avoid 
coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high
 caffeine 
Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer
 fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or
 filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap
 water. 
Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. 
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of
   
digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the
   intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic
   buildup.
 

13. 
Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By
   refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes
   to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the
   body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
 

14. 
Some supplements build up the immune system
   (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,
   EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy
   cancer cells.. 
Other supplements like vitamin E are known
   to cause apoptosis, or 
programmed cell death, the body's
   normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or
   unneeded cells.
 

15. Cancer is a disease of the 
mind, body, and spirit.
   A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior
  be a survivor. 
Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put
  the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to
  have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy
  life.
 

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated
   environment. 
Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to
   get more oxygen down to the cellular level. 
Oxygen
   therapy
 is another means employed to destroy cancer
   cells
. 

1. 
No plastic containers in micro

2. 
No water bottles in freezer

3. 
No plastic wrap in microwave.. 
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Please share this with your whole email list.........................
Also, he pointed out that 
plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead. 



This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.


This is an email  that  was forwarded to me (TL) While I agree to all of it, I have to add that milk is important in the development of healthy bones in children. Of course, everything in moderation because if you eliminate something all together the consequences can be VERY DIFFICULT to deal with!
